Alternative Medicine for Pets/lump 2cm on 3 year old Staffy.

Advertisement


Question
My 3 year old staffy has a 2cm lump on his back.  It doesn't bother him but I
thought I should get it checked out everytime I went to the vets.  First 2 times
the vet said it was nothing to worry about, probably nothing, then this time
he said "let's just chop it out just incase".  I'm not too sure what to do...  

Please help if you can.  

Answer
Hi - Well, I think that you can just do a sample - biopsy.... of the site.  I don't see any reason to Chop it out.
Has it grown any larger in the recent past?
I sure hate to cut unless the area has changed in size.
YOU can always get a second opinion.

BEST wishes to you....
